Modelling and identification of non-linear deterministic systems in the delta-domain
This paper provides a formulation for using the delta-operator in the modelling of non-linear systems. It is shown that a unique representation of a deterministic non-linear auto-regressive with exogenous input (NARX) model can be obtained for polynomial basis functions using the delta-operator and expressions are derived to convert between the shift- and delta- domain. A delta-NARX model is applied to the identification of a test problem (a Van-der-Pol oscillator): a comparison is made with the standard shift operator non-linear model and it is demonstrated that the delta-domain approach improves the numerical properties of structure detection, leads to a parsimonious description and provides a model that is closely linked to the continuous-time non-linear system in terms of both parameters and structure
Elastic Scattering of He based on a Cluster Description
Elastic scattering observables (differential cross section and analyzing
power) are calculated for the reaction He(p,p)He at projectile energies
starting at 71 MeV/nucleon. The optical potential needed to describe the
reaction is derived describing He in terms of a He-core and two
neutrons. The Watson first order multiple scattering ansatz is extended to
accommodate the internal dynamics of a composite cluster model for the He
nucleus scattering from a nucleon projectile. The calculations are compared
with the recent experiments at the projectile energy of 71 MeV/nucleon. In
addition, differential cross sections and analyzing powers are calculated at
selected higher energies.Comment: To be published in Phy. Rev.
QCD Sum Rules and Models for Generalized Parton Distributions
I use QCD sum rule ideas to construct models for generalized parton
distributions. To this end, the perturbative parts of QCD sum rules for the
pion and nucleon electromagnetic form factors are interpreted in terms of GPDs
and two models are discussed. One of them takes the double Borel transform at
adjusted value of the Borel parameter as a model for nonforward parton
densities, and another is based on the local duality relation. Possible ways of
improving these Ans{\"a}tze are briefly discussed.Comment: Contribution to the Festschrift on the occasion of Klaus Goeke's 60th

Conformal field theory approach to gapless 1D fermion systems and application to the edge excitations of nu = 1/(2p+1) quantum Hall sequences
We present a comprehensive study of the effective Conformal Field Theory
(CFT) describing the low energy excitations of a gas of spinless interacting
fermions on a circle in the gapless regime (Luttinger liquid). Functional
techniques and modular transformation properties are used to compute all
correlation functions in a finite size and at finite temperature. Forward
scattering disorder is treated exactly. Laughlin experiments on charge
transport in a Quantum Hall Fluid on a cylinder are reviewed within this CFT
framework. Edge excitations above a given bulk excitation are described by a
twisted version of the Luttinger effective theory. Luttinger CFTs corresponding
to the nu =1/(2p+1) filling fractions appear to be rational CFTs (RCFT).
Generators of the extended symmetry algebra are identified as edge fermions
creators and annihilators, thus giving a physical meaning to the RCFT point of
view on edge excitations of these sequences.Comment: 69 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX2e + amstex and graphicx packages needed,

First-principles derivation of the AdS/CFT Y-systems
We provide a first-principles, perturbative derivation of the AdS5/CFT4
Y-system that has been proposed to solve the spectrum problem of N=4 SYM. The
proof relies on the computation of quantum effects in the fusion of some loop
operators, namely the transfer matrices. More precisely we show that the
leading quantum corrections in the fusion of transfer matrices induce the
correct shifts of the spectral parameter in the T-system. As intermediate steps
we study UV divergences in line operators up to first order and compute the
fusion of line operators up to second order for the pure spinor string in
AdS5xS5. We also argue that the derivation can be easily extended to other
integrable models, some of which describe string theory on AdS4, AdS3 and AdS2
spacetimes.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figures; v2: minor additions, JHEP versio
Causal signal transmission by quantum fields. IV: The causal Wick theorem
Wick's theorem in the Schwinger-Perel-Keldysh closed-time-loop formalism is
written in a form where the place of contractions is taken by the linear
response function of the field. This result demonstrates that the physical
information supplied by Wick's theorem for operators is propagation of the free
field in space and time.Comment: Final version, to appear in Phys Rev
Looking for a theory of faster-than-light particles
Several principal aspects of a theoretical approach to the theory of
faster-than-light particles (tachyons) are considered in this note. They
concern the resolution of such problems of tachyon theory as the causality
violation by tachyons, the stability of the tachyon vacuum, and the stability
of ordinary particles against the spontaneous emission of tachyons, i.e. the
problems which are generally used as arguments against the possibility of such
particles. It is demonstrated that all these arguments contain nontrivial
loopholes which undermine their validity. A demand for a consistent tachyon
theory is formulated, and several ideas for its construction are suggested.Comment: 41 pages, 5 figure
From Quantum B\"acklund Transforms to Topological Quantum Field Theory
We derive the quantum analogue of a B\"acklund transformation for the
quantised Ablowitz-Ladik chain, a space discretisation of the nonlinear
Schr\"odinger equation. The quantisation of the Ablowitz-Ladik chain leads to
the -boson model. Using a previous construction of Baxter's Q-operator for
this model by the author, a set of functional relations is obtained which
matches the relations of a one-variable classical B\"acklund transform to all
orders in . We construct also a second Q-operator and show that it is
closely related to the inverse of the first. The multi-B\"acklund transforms
generated from the Q-operator define the fusion matrices of a 2D TQFT and we
derive a linear system for the solution to the quantum B\"acklund relations in
terms of the TQFT fusion coefficients.Comment: 29 pages,4 figures (v3: published version
